Golf injuries, often from overuse or trauma, affect the elbow, wrist, shoulder, and back. Proper conditioning, swing adjustments, and equipment selection can prevent many common golf injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Golf's increasing popularity spans diverse demographics, with 10-20% of adults participating.
  • Recreational golfers cite health benefits like exercise and relaxation as key motivators.
  • Golf is a moderate-risk sport, but overuse injuries are common due to excessive play and technical flaws.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the causes and patterns of golf-related injuries in professional and amateur players.
  • To identify differences in injury occurrence based on playing habits and swing mechanics.
  • To propose preventive strategies for common golf injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of injury patterns in professional and amateur golfers.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to overuse and traumatic injuries.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of biomechanical characteristics and playing habits influencing injury risk.

    • Main Results:

    • Golf injuries primarily affect the elbow, wrist, shoulder, and dorsolumbar spine.
    • Overuse and traumatic origins are the main causes of injury.
    • Differences in injury ranking exist between professional and amateur golfers, linked to playing habits and swing mechanics.

    Conclusions:

    • Sport-specific conditioning programs, including strength, flexibility, and aerobic exercise, are crucial.
    • Pre-game warm-ups, swing adjustments, proper equipment, and environmental awareness enhance safety.
    • A comprehensive approach to training and equipment can make golf a safe, lifelong activity.
